Without warning he had become witness to something that stretched back through the eons, ties both elastic and enduring, surpassing death, surpassing life. She was his child. It was as simple as that...
Rachel knew what she was doing. And when she didn't, she could improvise on the fly, coming up with options that left a lot of collateral damage but usually only hurt herself, not the people around he...
He didn't want Lucy to grow up feeling alone, surrounded by everything and having nothing.
The want for that kiss had shocked him more than the interruption, and he fell back into the chair, cool and nonchalant as Quen came in with his questions and demands. He wasn't sure if he believed he...
She just threatened to throw the next man who shoots at you out the window. Megan is awake. She offered to help. God, Trent, what is it with you and women?
Al was cruel, vindictive, angry, elegant, powerful. He gave me strength, he gave me wisdom, not only about magic, but about myself. He was a lot like Trent, only harsher around the edges.

Yeah, the elf looks good in the sun, Jenks smart-mouthed, the pixy currently sitting on the bottom of my hooped earrings and out of the moderate wind. When you going to put us all out of your misery a...
With a gentle pressure, our lips met. His hands slipped more firmly about me, and I held myself back, not afraid, but wanting to feel everything slowly as I leaned in, tasting the wine on him, feeling...

Trent nodded, that same tight look about his jaw. It would have worked except for one thing, he said, and Wayde looked up.What's that? he asked blearily.Silent, Trent stared at me while my heart hamme...
If it was up to me, I’d choose the hard path with the easy ending, not the easy path with the hard end.
I need to know, he said softly. I want to know what a date with you is like so I can look at it and say that was a date. This was business. One date. One real date, with a good-night kiss and everyth...
I like walking into a room and seeing your face light up when you see me, he said earnestly, the sun from the open window making his hair glow. I like arguing with Quen over the wisdom of employing a...
